... en een auto passen niet echt samen, dus we hebben niet geproefd. Ward heeft een extra route langs het water genomen om de kinderen de kans te geven om bij te slapen. Ik geef toe dat het meeste van de wonderschone zonovergoten omgeving ook gemist heb. Maar op cruciale momenten ben ik er wel bij. Het is uiteindelijk bewezen : er leven daar in het wilde Zuid-Afrika bavianen in de vrije natuur. Langs één van de parkings was ...

... sushi and the salmon roses were yuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmy. It wouldn't be a day in my life without me being a clutz once so...errr, yeah, I tipped a glass of wine all over Jo. Jo then tipped half a bag of cooking salt the waitress brought over her and left quite the trail to be followed by any wine connaisseur beau that might have spotted her :) Sadly, he never knocked on our door for Jo. His loss. I got to cuddle up with my belle instead. yay for me!

Really getting into my project now. The older children are better behaved as they begin to settle into a routine and if I'm feeling a little bit tired or delicate I spend the day with the babies. Today I led an activity or what they call 'individual stimulation' and there were almost no problems all the childdren made a picture and didn't fight or cry when they had to go back into the other room. It was very satisfying! I also helped take six of ...

Nomad..def: someone who moves from place to place, and finds the road their home. Also the name of the Company that runs our safari. Today Heather and I traveled from the Backpack to the Nomad offices down town. We showed up and while Heather knew one other person, I only knew Heather. Who were all these strangers, 1 brit, a few Americans, a Canadian, A ...

... After several attempts to locate matches and start a fire using the fire lighters, it we discovered that one is not allowed to make fires or burn gas on the range . (Note Chris grinning and looking forward to his first sip of apple juice, this is 5 seconds prior to him swallowing a mouthful of olive oil, which is actually what he is holding) Understandably so! With empty stomachs, we packed the vehicles, and continued the ascent, which by this stage was near ...

The motorcycle trip in South Africa began with some wishful thinking and a little boyish excitement. My roommate Adam helped get me riled up when I needed it most. I've had the opportunity to visit some places this year that I never imagined possible, but it wouldn't have been anywhere near as much fun without my friends. Adam and Shella hosted me ...

... the society to do? Yes, it's wonderful many children receive basic health care but the existing society isn't able to support them. We saw many examples of charity at work but how do you walk the fine line of a hand up not a hand out? Meanwhile, in NS they are continuing to shift an apartheid society to a democratic. The Apartheid system is dead, but economic Apartheid is still strong. The democratic party and government agencies are also trying to get a ...

... to Cape Town, which meant that I could do nothing for my first three days here other than sleep. I would wake up in the morning, all motivated to do stuff, then get as far as the front door before feeling like I was going to pass out. I had originally planned to only spend a couple of days here, before moving on to the Garden Route, and then Johannesburg and Kruger Park, but I decided to scrap that ...

Today we took a drive around Cape Town, Table Bay and the Cape Peninsula area. Durbanville or Tygerberg (where my cousin lives) is just northwest of the city and is known as the Hub of Greater Cape Town. It contains some of the last remnants of the threatened West Coast Renosterveld, of which less than 3% remains today. Near her home is a lovely road we take quite often which has a row of plane trees arching over the road and in another, huge old oak trees. It is also known as ...
